	Collecting Herbarium Specimens
		Luca Ghini (1490?--1556), a botany professor at the University of Bologna, Italy, is considered to have been the first person to dry plants under pressure, mount them on paper, and thus preserve them as a permanent record (Arber 1938; Birdson and Forman 1992).
		By the time of Carl Linnaeus (1707--1778), this method was well known and widely used (Stearn 1957).
		The oldest surviving herbarium is that of Ghini's pupil Gherardo Cibo, who began to collect plants at least as early as 1532 (Arber 1938).

	Advances in Botany \| Science and Its Times: 1450-1699
		Gardens were also founded in other Italians cities, including Pisa where Luca Ghini became the first professor of botany.
		The increased number of species, many of which had new and unusual characteristics, stimulated interest in classification as a way to organize all this new information.
		Andrea Cesalpino (1519-1603), a pupil of Ghini and one of the most important botanists of his time, was the first to develop a natural system of classification, that is, a system based not on some arbitrary characteristic such as the number of petals in a flower, but rather, on overall similarities.
